C	"If we have to learn life lessons from a God Cat, do they have to side with Bill O'Reilly?" -- I.E. Weekly Posted May 15, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	68%
B	"Like his subjects, Norwegian writer-director Joachim Trier is young and bursting with ambition" -- I.E. Weekly Posted May 15, 2008	Reprise (2008)	95%
C-	"We're left after this terse and anxious film knowing nothing more about the world than that Janssen looks cool bending over and glaring at the eight-ball" -- I.E. Weekly Posted May 15, 2008	Turn the River (2008)	75%
B-	"Even bedridden, Broadbent walks away with the film; his son's never outshone him and Firth can't do much besides sulk." -- I.E. Weekly Posted May 15, 2008	When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)	82%
D-	"There are worse movies, but most restrain themselves to only one scene of Daniel Stern learning to salsa." -- I.E. Weekly Posted May 15, 2008	A Previous Engagement (2008)	35%
B	"Their customers are awkward enough that we're able to believe the girls are in control, or at least aware that they're the highlight of the men's week." -- I.E. Weekly Posted May 15, 2008	The Babysitters (2008)	28%
C	"Sliding from past to present without an overt purpose, Jakob's story has the grand and aimless sweep of a mini-series" -- I.E. Weekly Posted May 15, 2008	Fugitive Pieces (2008)	60%
B-	"Harmony Korine's films thrive on uncertain ground. Exiting the theater, you're never more aware that ten people can sit next to each other but see ten different films." -- I.E. Weekly Posted May 15, 2008	Mister Lonely (2008)	48%
D	"David Mamet must have gotten roundhouse kicked in the head to think there was a story worth telling in his latest macho faceoff. " -- I.E. Weekly Posted May 15, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	71%
B	"Jeff Nichols modern Western is laconic and lazily captivating, its silence slowly building to rage." -- I.E. Weekly Posted May 15, 2008	Shotgun Stories (2007)	87%
A	"What's epic in Morris' still and haunting assembly of talking heads is an indictment of photography, and by extension, history. " -- I.E. Weekly Posted May 15, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	78%
4/5	"Baby Mama is hilarious. I could quote its awesome one-liners out of context for diminishing returns. It�s also smart. The jokes are cribbed from the anxiety list of anyone who�s spent too much time reading the New York Times Style section." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 25, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	60%
2/5	"What this film knows about grief, you could put in a haiku. (It�d read: �Death sucks, like really/Nothing else matters, ever/Therapy�what�s that?�)" -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	22%
2.5/5	"The whole film feels like Apatow and clan are still on their own vacation after last summer�s one-two punch." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 18, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	84%

B	"Silly and satisfying, The Forbidden Kingdom is a juggernaut of beloved movie tropes complete with pumping-up montage of knuckle pushups. " -- I.E. Weekly Posted Apr 17, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	62%
B-	"The Osama his film captures is similar to the one foisted upon us by the media: a 2-D villain straight from a kill 'em all video game. " -- I.E. Weekly Posted Apr 17, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	36%
2.5/5	"Rates a solid C." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 14, 2008	Prom Night (2008)	9%
B+	"Despite the director, the film is damned wonderful" -- Los Angeles CityBeat Posted Apr 11, 2008	Young@Heart (2008)	87%
B-	"By the gripping finale, it's clear that Street Kings is implausible in its practicalities, if not in its grand concept" -- I.E. Weekly Posted Apr 11, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	33%
D+	"Wai fills the void with pointless slow-mo shots while pushing his real talent to commit over-acting hara-kiri with syrupy drawls and nonsense perspectives" -- I.E. Weekly Posted Apr 11, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	49%
D	"More false than Ms. Hilton's "accidental" panty-flashings, Noam Murro's dull, meandering dramedy reduces love to a montage and mourning to Quaid's inability to ride shotgun" -- Los Angeles CityBeat Posted Apr 11, 2008	Smart People (2008)	49%
B+	"Despite its polemic simplicity, Daniel Taplitz's slight parable is charming" -- Los Angeles CityBeat Posted Apr 11, 2008	Chaos Theory (2008)	30%
B-	"After the 14th song, casual fans feel guilty that their energy is flagging while then-63 Mick's still huffing on" -- I.E. Weekly Posted Apr 3, 2008	Shine a Light (2008)	86%
C	"Despite two necrophilia gags, Sex and Death 101 feels like its feigning its misogyny, cynicism, and philosophical depth (though "karma sutra" is a great pun)." -- I.E. Weekly Posted Apr 3, 2008	Sex and Death 101 (2008)	26%
C	"Just as robot scientists describe the "uncanny valley" effect, the more Clooney tries to be Clark Gable, the wider the gulf appears between them." -- I.E. Weekly Posted Apr 3, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
B+	"Lee wants to make an up-with-dead-people portrait that shines light on how the diverse zombie community integrates into the city. " -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 31, 2008	American Zombie (2008)	67%
A-	"With jokes packed as tightly together as sliced cheese, the flick's comedy axiom seems to be: Never give the audience a pause to second-guess their laughter" -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Mar 31, 2008	Superhero Movie! (2008)	15%
B	"Stop-Loss misses emotional beats and hammers home its frustration; yet in a week where we've lost our 4,000th soldier, its impatience is a virtue." -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 31, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
D	"Schwimmer's sliced cheese mediocrity gets him off the hook; not so for the usually inventive Pegg and Black and their arms race of bland jokes and cheap male nudity" -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 31, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
D	"Like the Strip itself, it's all lights and music throbbing so hard you confuse yourself into thinking you're having fun. " -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 31, 2008	21 (2008)	31%
2/5	"*Overall, Hats Off* feels like a scripted documentary that avoids the full story.*" -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Mar 28, 2008	Hats Off (2008)	38%
C+	"Lee does a decent job making us care for the squads, but he does his film a better service just by pointing his camera at the breath-taking contortions of the human body." -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 20, 2008	Planet B-Boy (2008)	90%
C+	"Penn only wanted to create his world, not explore it, and failing that he axes the players as quickly as possible as though he's bored and ready for the credits" -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 20, 2008	The Grand ()	42%
B-	"Like the boxer himself, the flick is flabby but light on its feet, ultimately exceeding expectations" -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 20, 2008	The Hammer (2008)	74%
B-	"Sachs and Moverman have scripted a potboiler, but unwisely kept the lid on. Their intent is wry philosophical detachment; the effect is a biting social satire gone soggy." -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 15, 2008	Married Life (2008)	55%
C+	"This isn't mallrat Crime and Punishment; it's Accident and Inertia, structured by Alex's attempt to capture his feelings in a journal.(He's more verbose than introspective.) " -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 15, 2008	Paranoid Park (2008)	76%
C	"A great director shines a light into the lives of the ordinary; a lame one offs a child and pretends that's magnitude." -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 15, 2008	Snow Angels (2008)	68%
D	"Zac Stanford's screenplay works only as a theorem proving Murphy's Law. " -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 15, 2008	Sleepwalking (2008)	16%
D+	"The flick's signature shots are doors closing on Klein's camera. Meat Loaf is busy, he's sick, he's tired, he's in a confidential discussion. The excuses flow forth." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Mar 15, 2008	Meat Loaf: In Search of Paradise (2008)	70%
C	"James' outlandish ruses to make his firstborn a Wildcat are fun; the push-pull parent-child dynamic generic, but sweet. Bu the writers comedy failsafe is "Cut to the pig!"" -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Mar 10, 2008	College Road Trip (2008)	14%
B-	"The film's eagerness to hit every note strikes a sloppy chord" -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 6, 2008	Girls Rock (2004)	n/a
D+	"Chow's latest might sell a lot of toys; still, it can't sell tears and the great gooey third act burns out like a meteor." -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 6, 2008	CJ7 (2008)	45%
B	"The screwball comedy's charm verges on frothy wish fulfillment, but gets anchored by Amy Adams' refusal to play shallow" -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 6, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	76%
	"You think you�ve worn this family-friendly yarmulke before, but then [writer/director] Usen splices in so many plot threads, the whole thing unravels." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Mar 5, 2008	The Urn (2008)	n/a
C	"A precocious fairy tale made for and starring people too old for whimsy" -- I.E. Weekly Posted Mar 2, 2008	Penelope (2008)	53%
C	"It's all screwball fun until someone gets bugsprayed down the throat." -- I.E. Weekly Posted Feb 29, 2008	The Signal (2007)	55%
B-	"As a peace-loving liberal, cross-examining Morgen's rousing, worthy, but slanted film is as fun as kicking yourself in the shins (or watching Clinton tear into Obama)" -- I.E. Weekly Posted Feb 29, 2008	Chicago 10 (2008)	77%
	"*It�s the audience that deserves Protection* from this Witless Larry the Cable Guy vehicle.*" -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Feb 25, 2008	Witless Protection (2008)	0%
B-	"Luckily, Aishwarya Rai's mesmerizing good looks make three and a half hours tick by like, well, two and a half hours" -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 23, 2008	Jodhaa Akbar (2008)	71%
